MindFly Fountain Pen Review by Amit Singh – A Tribute to Indian Craftsmanship
Pen Review: Delmoon Fountain Pen (Medium Nib) – Made in Bharat (India)
Nib and Writing Performance:
The Delmoon Fountain Pen features a medium steel nib engraved with the KW logo and the word “ONWRITE”. It showcases elegant decorative scrollwork, enhancing the pen’s aesthetic charm while maintaining a refined simplicity.
Performance:
- Ink Flow: Consistent, with no skipping or hard starts, the ink flows seamlessly, making it ideal for both daily use and journaling.
- Smoothness: The pen glides effortlessly across the paper, offering a smooth writing experience—no scratchiness and minimal feathering.
- Line Consistency: The medium nib provides uniformity, delivering clean loops and strokes. Its responsiveness during fast scribbles further proves its excellent ink delivery system.
- Reverse Writing: While reverse writing is possible, the nib profile suggests it’s better suited for standard writing than for such backhanded techniques.
Nib and Feed Assembly:
From the side images:
- Nib Alignment: The nib aligns well with the feed, ensuring a steady ink flow. The curvature at the nib tip indicates a soft give but lacks flexibility.
- Feed System: The feed fins are well-engineered, likely made of plastic, ensuring efficient ink regulation during writing.
Build Quality:
- Material: The pen features transparent red resin with subtle black flecks, adding a distinctly artistic touch to the pen’s body. This is a testament to Indian craftsmanship—possibly hand-turned—making each pen unique.
- Fit and Finish: The grip section is precisely crafted, and the nib, feed, and section fit seamlessly, showcasing the pen’s artisanal value.
- Ergonomics: Designed for comfort during long writing sessions, the tapered section prevents slippage, with a slightly forward-weighted balance ideal for controlled strokes.
Writing Sample Insights:
- Smooth Experience: The pen’s writing sample demonstrates no railroading in loops and balanced ink saturation.
- Pressure Handling: The Delmoon fountain pen responds well to pressure variations, making it versatile for light and firm strokes.
Overall Impression:
Strengths:
- Smooth, consistent writing
- Artisan finish—the beautiful resin adds to its cultural charm

Areas for Improvement:

The Delmoon Fountain Pen is a solid choice for those who appreciate the balance between craftsmanship, utility, and aesthetic beauty. It not only highlights the artistic skills prevalent in Bharat but also delivers smooth performance for daily writing.
